A question about thumbnials.

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

I am displaying all the images on my site as h = 150 w = 200.

It seems that I am wasting disc space by storing the full images and them displaying them smaller.

The images are uploaded by the user.

Is it possible to create a thumbnail with the uploaded image and then just save the thumbnail and discard (delete ? ) the uploaded image ?

Thanks.

When uploading an image you end up with:
[code=php]
$destination = 'D:Webimages'."\".$temp_image;
$temp_file = $_FILES['upLoad1']['tmp_name'];
move_uploaded_file($temp_file,$destination);[/code]


Then to process the thubmnail you might start with:
[code=php]
$image_info = getImageSize($o_file).[/code]

Could I leave out the "move_uploaded_file()" and just process

the temp_file ?

EG
[code=php]
$o_file = $_FILES['upLoad1']['tmp_name'];

$image_info = getImageSize($o_file);
//...
imageCreateFromGIF($o_file)
//...[/code]

That way I never even upload the file - just use it to make a thumbnail version.

???

Success!
